It’s been a while, feel like moving too fast.. while all other like stale or slow-pace.
I.e the market is not changing that fast enough for the new technology to sustain..

setting up dual boot.. messing up with new hardisk.. re-doing.. stayed up >24hours.

p/s : I think I will just embrace the new habit of staying up a bit longer… ;)
